Head Over Heels
How can I tell if you really care?
How can I know you'll always be there?
There've been so many times in the past
I've had relationships that didn't last.
I don't know if I can go through this again,
I'm not sure that it's worth all that pain.
I managed to keep all the others at bay.
I even found that

My Aphrodite
y life was always so normal
A path predetermined by breeding
All it took was meeting you
Then my path began slowly fading
Twisting and turning right before me
So many pathways all around
Leading to places I never expected
The strange thing was that you were not with me
You had disappeared into the maze
Leaving not a single trace to follow
Still, somehow

When Twilight Comes
When twilight comes,
be morn or eve,
a time when cares
and fears take leave,
when the sun arises,
when the sun does set,
when the trials of the world
have not come yet,
nor will they you beset,
when ferns and flowers
are tender with dew,
when dreams
that you've dreamt
become alive and new,
when the stir of a breeze
and a rustle in the trees
become

SAN FRANCISCO RAIN
[V1-Night 1]
Seventh floor windows, ocean burning gold,
The Gulf of the Farallones, secrets to unfold.
Two doors beside each other, laughter in surprise,
But I felt eternity staring through your eyes.
Out on the balcony, the stars began to spin,
I leaned in like remembering where we had once been.
But you pulled back startled, as if caught in the wind,
Afraid

Hearts and heights
She stands like Everest—jaw-dropping, distant, sublime—
No timid plea will ever bridge that height.
Yet the one who climbs with tender steps and earnest heart
May trace her warmth through courage’s light.
You stumble on your words—your voice betrays your desire,
Each awkward phrase fuels your hope to try anew.
Like a climber training on

From Ashes, I Arose Anew
Your love flew wingless with the summer wind,
And left me stranded, hopeless, in a pit.
Alone I became too much for my mind,
With my love jailed by your self-written writ.
I was consumed by the flame of your rage,
Yet from the ashes, I arose anew.
I found a heart whose kindness could assuage,
And clean even a faintest thought

One Year of You, Melissa
One Year of You, Melissa
One year ago, the stars began,
And heaven said, "She is mine."
A small spark, a breath so new,
The world was brighter all for you.
Your giggles flower like morning sun,
Your eyes, two stars that brightly shine.
Each step you take, each sound you make,

Inner Child
You're never too old
to be young
at heart
even Freud was Jung
from the very start
altho' childbirth
is a labour of love
it's all in the swing
of things
and to about-face
child discipline
is strictly a case
of heir conditioning

The Falconer's Prey
If weary my heart should thy secret betray,
Or lay bare to all what within me doth stay—
Till voices from unseen in my song shall rise,
One breath I become thy companion true.
No prey like to thee may the falconer claim,
And if I be lost, none bringeth my name.
Last night no tidings of thee came to me,
Nor

My hearts Desire
You are the radiance of my heart's desire.
Beginning to end, igniting an internal fire.
Always surrendering our passions to share.
Within twin heart's centers, to wholly bare.
You are mine, and I am yours for spirts sake.
With desires and hopes not wishing to brake.
I will continue to hold you up for my inspire.
For you are the one I

My Veteran
Forever forever will I miss you Dad,
Even though I tried ofttimes not to be sad.
I know you're in a better place looking down on me,
Smiling down on me,your showers pouring down on me;
Atanda, he whose handwriting is prettiest like a gazelle's footsteps,
Aguntasoo lo, a man with steeze whose cuteness-
Makes all heart push front leaning position

You dwell in my poems
You dwell in my poems
Not everyone can
It is a place
For your eyes only
For your lovely smile
Your hair dancing in the wind
Your arms with gentle embrace
Your beautiful lips
That leave traces
Red and blue
All over...
Yes! Why are you smiling
Acting ignorant?
Like you don’t know!
And then, in the morning light...
Oh, look how lovely
My silk scarf fits
Around your neck...
People notice it,
